RHEL 6 - how to install 'GLIBC_2.14' or 'GLIBC_2.15'?

Question

I need these 2 packages installed on RHEL 6 linux system. They are required by several other programs.

When I do:

sudo yum install glibc-devel
         


        

Answer 1

Naive question: Is it possible to somehow download GLIBC 2.15, put it in any folder (e.g. /tmp/myglibc) and then point to this path ONLY when executing something that needs this specific version of glibc?

Yes, it's possible.
